Five Easy Ways To Cut Water Usage

Make Conservation A Priority

Conserving water should always be a priority, even if the family using the water can afford any water bill that comes their way. Just because you can afford something doesn’t mean that you should waste it.

If you’re looking for ways to use less water around the Evansville home, then there are many unique ways to do this as well as some old suggestions that can help you to drastically cut water usage.

Find Ways To Conserve

Watering Lawns- If you have to water the lawn, then make sure it’s not going to rain, and only water the lawn after sundown.

If it rains, then there is no need to water the lawn, so this saves you water. If you have to water the lawn, then waiting till the sun goes down ensures that the water won’t evaporate but will soak into the lawn.

Flushing Toilets- Some may throw things in the toilet and flush it. Some will even flush the toilet whether it’s used or not. Watch how many times a toilet is flushed, and only flush if it’s absolutely necessary, especially since it may be taking up a lot of extra water.

Blowing your nose into a tissue paper and throwing in the toilet doesn’t warrant flushing it, in fact, it’s better to throw that tissue in the garbage to save on water usage.

Washing The Car- If you have to wash the car at home, then catch water in a bucket, and quickly rinse off the car with a hose that has a sprayer at the end that can be turned off as necessary.

Letting The Kids Play In Water- Kids love to play under the sprinklers, but there is a better way to let them cool off. Take the kids to the pool instead of running the water constantly to let them get wet.

Take A Shower- Baths can take a tremendous amount of water, so it’s best to take a shower, especially since a shower can be taken within a matter of minutes as opposed to a bath, which many may take half an hour or more.

Conserving Water Saves Money

The more water you end up conserving, the more money you’ll save. Along with learning conservation methods, make sure there are no leaks around your Evansville home, and get any leaks taken care of by a licensed plumber.
